The Scene opens with a van pulling up next to a lighthouse, just as the number one contender had described it. BRAD is the first to step out, having his hood taken off and handed his belt, with SOUL BEARER next. BRAD kisses the belt, handing it to the ref that has come along, and SOUL BEARER is already on his way over to the building as this match is ready to get under way!

MAIN EVENT


vs.

- - "Stairway To Hell" Match - -

SOUL BEARER turns towards BRAD, as BRAD does the same. They give a giant glare, as if they know that one of them may never be walking out of here. They start walking slowly, then running, holding up there fists. BAM! And the match has started, with PIERCE and BEARER throwing fists at each other, holding their heads high. BRAD begins to get the upper hand, kicking away at BEARER’s knee’s, knocking him down to one knee. BRAD stands back, dropkick to the face! It knocks BEARER to the ground, as he grabs his arm, dragging him towards the lighthouse. When BRAD drops his arm to reach for the door to open it, BEARER is able to get back to his feet and drop toehold BRAD into the door! That’s a metal door right there, folks! BEARER opens the door, heading inside and leaving BRAD on the outside to enter hesitantly. BEARER stares down the tables in the center, where the match will end. He rubs against it with his hand, knives, broken glass, tacks, and any other sharp objects outlining them. He hears the door about to open, so he jolts up the first flight of stairs.

BRAD comes through the door looking around, noticing the tables himself. He just snorts and spits, heading up the stairs. WHOOSH! A chair goes flying by his head! He looks around, not seeing anything, picking up the chair by his feet. He hears a creak of a door, and then a shutting door. All of a sudden WHOOSH again! This time a florescent light bulb nails him right in the head! He shakes it off, running up the stairs with a chair. SWING! BEARER swings another light bulb, but PIERCE swings the chair, breaking the bulb in BEARER’s hands! He shakes them, avoiding a chair in the process. BEARER now jolts to the second floor, as PIERCE is right behind him. He opens up that closet door, taking out a barbed wire bat and a….stapler?! Oh dear, this is going to get UGLY. PIERCE runs around the corner, feeling a sting in his right arm. He pulls it out…and it’s a staple! BEARER is standing there holding the stapler open, and then swings the bat, but misses. BRAD swings the chair, nailing BEARER’s arm! PIERCE takes this opportunity to nail BEARER in the gut with the chair, and then a impact DDT! BEARER is already split open now, and we’re only on the second stairwell! PIERCE changes that, though, grabbing a hold of BEARER’s hair and dragging him up the next flight. Seeing no weapons there, he goes to the fourth to find a closet, with a fire extinguisher on the outside. He grabs it, smiling towards BEARER with that evil PIERCE smile. He holds it up, pulling the pin. “You look like you’re on fire, SOULY”, he says, before spraying SOUL BEARER in the face with the extinguisher! He then takes it and THWACK! Across the back of BEARER’s neck! BEARER grabs his neck in much pain, but PIERCE isn’t half way done yet, no sir. He opens up the closet inside finding…..a table! He realizes this could come in handy, so he sets it up on the corner by the closet door. He heads back down the stairs, coming back up with the barbed wire bat. BEARER doesn’t know it, as he turns around and SCCCRAATTCHHHH, right across the stomach! BEARER backs into the corner against the table, and PIERCE swings again, nailing BEARER in the head! He’s out on the table, as PIERCE rrrrrrrrrips some hair out of BEARER’s skull! What is he doing here? He’s standing on the railing to the staircase, trying to keep his balance….CRUNCH! A daredevil dropkick sends BEARER cracking through the table! His neck has to be hurting him even more after that, as PIERCE doesn’t let up one bit. He drags BEARER up another three more flights of stairs, as we’re now on the seventh floor! BRAD opens up the next closet, and out falls a kendo stick, a mop, and a broom! Wait, that’s not all…..There’s a mysterious bag in there as well! It’s quite light, as PIERCE opens it…….Brass knuckles! He slides them on his hand, smiling towards it. What he doesn’t notice is that he’s standing over a broomstick, but BEARER notices as he thrusts it UP. OUUUUUUUCH. PIERCE hoots and hollers to the pain, as BEARER picks up the brass knucks himself. He holds his arm up in the air and CRACK! Right across BRAD’s forehead! He knows that won’t be enough to bust him open, though, as he begins to pound in the face with it! Punch after punch, and BRAD’s forehead is turning red! He throws off the knuckles, punching PIERCE with straight right hands, middle finger sticking out just a bit for more impact. He picks up the mop stick as PIERCE tries to get up, but he breaks it over his back! He picks up the broom stick, same thing! He grabs one of the broken sticks now, going behind BRAD and standing over him, choking him with it around his neck. He grabs the kendo stick, along with BRAD’s arm. He lays his arm across the railing, wrapping it so his elbow is sticking out in the center. WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! PHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHWACK!!!! Shot after shot, BEARER nails BRAD’s arm so hard, he breaks the kendo stick! He peers over the side, though, to look at the sparkling tables below. He gulps, grabbing PIERCE and dragging HIM up the stairs now. They reach the ninth floor, more than half way up the lighthouse. He opens up the closet, and kerosene, matches, and chloroform are sitting at the bottom of it. He smiles, stuffing the matches and kerosene in his pocket, and dumping a whole bunch of chloroform onto a rag that was also in the closet. PIERCE is up already, swinging at BEARER though! Unfortunately for him he misses, turning around and SPLAT! He’s being knocked out by chloroform!!! Knowing this was his opportunity to perhaps end the match quickly, BEARER puts BRAD on his shoulders, walking him up the stairs, hitting BRAD’s head wherever he could hit his head. They reach the thirteenth floor, and from there SOUL BEARER takes the kerosene and matches out of his pocket. He opens up the bottle, holding the box of matches in his mouth. He looks over the side, and begins to open the bottle and dump the kerosene through the middle! As he does that, he takes his other hand and strikes a match, dropping it over the middle so the kerosene would catch fire on the way down! It was like an effect, as he drops the empty bottle down, watching the middle of the lighthouse becoming a char-pit! He realizes he accomplished what he wanted, lighting the ten tables below on fire. Turning around, though, he didn’t realize that PIERCE had awoken, holding his head! PIERCE knocks BEARER down to the ground with a hard clothesline, as he opens up the closet on that floor. He reads the number, “13” on the door, realizing what BEARER was trying to do. Opening the door, a giant inflatable Grim Reaper flies out, but it falls and behind it is the actual Grim Reaper machete!!! BEARER thought up of everything for this match, and God only knows where he got these ideas! He stands, realizing what PIERCE is holding, running back down to the eleventh floor quickly. With PIERCE slow to follow, he is able to open up the closet on that floor, and he finds………alcohol and bottles? Empty water bottles and Vodka, to be exact. He quickly opens the bottles, pouring the vodka into the water bottles. He sees PIERCE coming around, dumping the bottle of vodka into the closet again, and closing the door. BRAD IS ABOUT TO SWING, but………HALT! SOUL BEARER holds his hand out, telling PIERCE to stop. He explains that PIERCE looks tired, so he needs something to drink. Handing him one of the bottles, and taking one for himself, PIERCE takes the offer with a questioning look, and downs the bottle. Wiping his mouth before BEARER could even take a sip, he grabs the bottle out of his hand and drinks that. Asking for more, BEARER hands PIERCE the last three bottles. 10 minutes pass by now, and PIERCE is now downing the vodka bottle, not even realizing it is vodka, thinking it’s water. He finally finishes, and stumbling around he hiccups, picking up the machete. He helps PIERCE back up to the thirteenth floor, grabbing the chair that was on the twelfth as they walked by. He sets him down, and as PIERCE goes to swing, BEARER turns around and NAILS him with the chair! PIERCE only stumbles though, getting enraged as the alcohol makes him go ballistic! He’s swinging the machete all around, at one point or another hitting BEARER in the arms and legs. SWOOSH! RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE, LEAVING TWO MARKS ON HIS CHEEKS! BEARER know he has to get away, so with one last shot he takes a swing with the chair, nailing PIERCE again, this time sending him down. He’s only able to make it to the fourteenth floor, though, only one floor away from the top. PIERCE was able to stand again, after being knocked out with chloroform, and being shot through the veins with vodka! BEARER looks around for a weapon, but there is nothing, only the char-pit in the center of the lighthouse. He tries to climb up to the top, but PIERCE stops him, lifting him onto his shoulders and whacking his head off the top of the lighthouse! That is pure metal right there, and he’s leaving dents! ELECTRIC CHAIR ONTO THE CONCRETE STAIRS! BEARER holds his neck with pressure now, knowing he may have broken it! PIERCE takes this opportunity to reach the top! He’s there, too! Brushing his hair out of his face because of the wind, he takes a look around, knowing what it took to get here. What he doesn’t realize is that Bearers back up, and he yanks on PIERCE’s leg! PIERCE wobbles, then falls, and he keeps falling! Fourteenth, thirteenth, twelfth, eleventh, falling and falling. He ends up on the tenth floor, working his way up. Met back on the thirteenth with BEARER, who now has the machete, PIERCE’s eyes open wide as he tries to avoid the swinging BEARER. He catches him on the hand, badly cutting him open from his middle finger, past his wrist a little bit. That will leave a mark until death, XWF’ers!

PIERCE finally gets away, making his way back to the top, but BEARER drops the machete, able to pull PIERCE down and climb to the top himself. He does the same as PIERCE did, brushing his hair back and looking around. The light, which is moving around, nearly catches SOUL BEARER off guard, as does PIERCE. PIERCE does a spinning back kick, nearly stumbling off the side! BEARER is able to duck, grabbing a hold of PIERCE before he could fall. Did BEARER just save BRAD’s life? PIERCE just looks at SOUL BEARER now, knowing what just happened. BEARER just looks at PIERCE, then swings a fist, but PIERCE ducks! SUPERKICK! NO! BEARER reverses, turning around and nailing a clothesline! PIERCE FALLS INTO THE HOLE! HE’S FALLEN! NO!!!!!!!! He’s hanging onto the side. BEARER smiles, and goes to stomp on PIERCE’s feet, but with the agility he has, PIERCE is able to move his hand and grab BEARER’s foot, knowing BEARER had to pull him up to save himself. BEARER does so, and PIERCE jumps up, nailing BEARER in the forehead with a forearm shot. Both men are bleeding badly, and the only place to go from here is DOWN into the hell at the center of this building. PIERCE regains his stability, noticing BEARER is still a little woozy. He nails him in the head with a knee, and begins to drop himself to the ground to kick BEARER down the hole, hurting his back on the concrete in the process. No one said this was going to be an easy task, but on the last kick, BEARER is able to move, sending PIERCE forward. PIERCE stops himself, and stands up.

PIERCE looks up, noticing SOUL BEARER running at him, but he sidesteps him, sending him almost over the railing! BEARER turns around and PIERCE goes to punch him, but BEARER moves. PIERCE immediately turns around and SUPERKICKS SOUL BEARER, and as SOUL BEARER falls backwards, he breaks the glass on the light!!!! He falls again, AND HE FALLS DOWN THE HOLE! BEARER IS FALLING INTO THE HELL!! CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRACKKKKKKKKKKKK, CRUUUUUNCH, FLLLLLLLARRRRR…….AHHHHHHH…………..SHINGGGGGGGGGGG……

And as he falls into the tables…….the scene slowly flips through the life of SOUL BEARER in the XWF. His life basically flashing before his eyes, the scene fades back to BEARER lying in a heap of blood, being shredded by knives, glass, and tacks.

STILL UNIVERSAL CHAMPION

The show goes off the air with BRAD looking down at BEARER from the top, and the question of: Is BEARER going to be ok, or better yet……

Is BEARER even ALIVE!?
